نماز؛ عامل تذکر

در این آیه به یکی از فلسفه‌های مهم نماز یعنی تذکر و یادآوری اشاره شده است. انسان در زندگی این جهان» با توجه به عوامل غافل‌کننده» به وسیله‌ای نیاز دارد که در فاصله‌های متفاوت زمانی» خدا و رستاخیز و دعوت پیامبران و هدف آفرینش را به یاد او آورد و از غرق شدن در گرداب غفلت و بی‌خبری حفظ کند. نمازء این وظیفةٌ مهم را بر عهده دارد. نماز در صبحگاهان پس از خوابی که انسان را از همه چیز این جهان بیگانه کرده, در هنگام ظهر و پس از غرق شدن در کارهای روزانه و شب هنگام پس از یک روز فعالیت و قبل از استراحت» انسان را متوجه خالق هستی می‌کند و او را به یاد هدف از آفرینش خود می‌اندازد.!
